Don't let a girl go to sleep mad or sad.
That has got to be one of the worst things you can possibly do. You’re just going to let her sleep with so many negative thoughts that could lead to over thinking and decisions that aren’t even thought through. No. Just don’t do that. That can make her think that you don’t even care and is just going to give up for the night. Then she’ll most definitely wake up with a shitty feeling.
Don’t do it.
“The best way to dehumanize someone while claiming you’re not is to believe you are just the same. You erase their experiences and perspective, their struggles and obstacles, their unique way of having to deal with those things in a world that also erases them. With the words, ‘but humans are humans’ or the bullshit dramatics of ‘we all bleed red’ normal people can simply pretend that if we all did things the way they did, then everything would work out okay. But, yes, we all bleed red but you don’t treat a papercut the same way you treat a gash, you don’t treat an infected wound the same way you treat one that isn’t, you don’t treat a wound to the leg the same way you treat a wound to the gut. You are not acknowledging someone’s personhood when you ignore the very things that make their lives different than yours, and when you refuse to understand that their circumstances have given them their own perspective that is just as valid as yours. More valid in fact – their perspective about their experiences that you haven’t been through is far more valid than anything you could ever think about it.”

How the hell do you walk in heels all the time? Gracefully, may I add.
I took some practice. A few stumbles, and the right balance of “heel to toe”. Try to avoid cobblestone, uneven sidewalks, and stick with a low heel and work your way up.
I am not graceful at all! I tend to make slips all the time. Its whether I’m able to recover quickly or not. Teehee.
Today is National Macaroon Day!
Yaaaay! Funny, I actually just got some macaroons :P
